Are You Able To See Past What You Are Going Through In Order To Help Someone Else Get Through?

There are some people that you know God placed into your life for such a time as this.   To help you and to encourage you.   To listen to you and to steer you.    To be there for you and to strengthen you.   That's not everybody.   Sometimes people are so overwhelmed with what they are going through that they can't see to help someone else get through.   It's not easy to see past your pain but it is good to be able to.   Seeing past "your" pain allows you to shift the focus.  It allows you to pray for someone else and to encourage someone else.  We have to learn how to shift the focus off of what we are going through in order to help someone else get through.

Every test and every trial in your life has meaning and purpose.    When you go through things in your life, it is those experiences that will help strengthen you and prepare you to encourage someone else.   When we get the revelation that God is not a respecter of persons, we then understand that what He has done for one person, He will also do for another.   If He has healed one, His healing is available for you.   If He has provided for one, His provision is made ready for you.   If He has strengthened one, His strength is available for you.  It's not a question of whether or not He can do a thing ... it is a question of whether or not we walk in faith and obedience and whether we can believe, trust, and wait on Him to do it.  

Be like that person that God has placed in your life for such a time as this.   Be the strengthener, encourager, and blessing to someone else.   Refocus your attention.   Instead of allowing your thoughts to be consumed by what you are going through, take what you have been through and help someone else get through.   Understanding and knowing that God is well able to do what He has done before whether it be in your life or in the life of someone else.   He is not limited in power or ability.   Trust Him with "you" and believe Him for "someone else".   Understand, you have enough faith for you and for others.   Just begin to exercise it.
